In April 2018, the Ontario government signed resource revenue sharing (RRS) agreements with three First Nation organizations, Grand Council Treaty #3, Mushkegowuk Council and the Wabun Tribal Council, representing 32 First Nations across Northern Ontario.
Starting in the fall of 2019, partner First Nations will receive 45% of government revenue from forestry stumpage, 40% of the annual mining tax and royalties from active mines at the time the agreements were signed, and 45% from future mines in the areas covered by the agreements. RRS agreements will provide a source of funding for First Nations to allocate towards key priorities, such as economic development, education, health, infrastructure, community and cultural initiatives.
Throughout areas with high mineral and forestry activities, developing a framework for RRS has been a priority for First Nation leadership for decades. The traditional and treaty territory of Wabun’s member First Nations (Brunswick House Frist Nation, Chapleau Ojibwe First Nation, Flying Post First Nation, Matachewan First Nation, Mattagami First Nation), which includes the Timmins and Kirkland Lake areas, is deemed to be one of the most prolific and longstanding mining jurisdictions in Canada.
